New Baby. Old Waking Time.

I didn't have a baby but am waking up over the next two weeks at God awful new parent hours. I'm covering for my buddy Monte Belmonte on the River Morning Show as he is home with his brand new baby boy Crecenzo Moody Belmonte. Enzo joins his big brother Atticus, who at 2 1/2 is a big fan of the Ramones, Elvis, and Johnny Cash. I think Enzo is in good hands.

Welcome Baby Boy Belmonte!

Bill DwightThis is Monty with Atticus when Atticus was just a little nubbin. Now he's got hair - Atticus, not Monty.

Having a picture of Atticus in Enzo's birth announcement blog is very reminiscent of my own confused beginnings. The birth announcement my parents sent out to friends and family featured a picture of my older brother Peter. He was six at the time. The image is of him looking at the camera and beneath it, in my dad's HANDWRITING it reads, "Hi, Everybody! My baby sister Kelsey Ann was born on June 25! She weighs..."* You can almost hear his delighted giggles at ALREADY STEALING MY LIMELIGHT.

*So as not to upset anyone, as I don't have the exact birth announcement in front of me, that is an approximate rendering of the announcement. The tone and message is the same though the words may not be.
